I'm going to start the weekend questions early Happy Thanksgiving!!!
The inmates are running the asylum.
I'll post the first question. Whoever answers it correctly gets 2 points and gets to ask the next question. You must answer a question before you can ask one.
You guys can play all weekend BUT you will only get credit for the first question you answer correctly.
That way 2 people can't bounce question back and forth and rack up points. So feel free to ask and answer as many as you like. You will only get 2 points.
Who was the first president to pardon a turkey?
Points including day 16

firstread.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2011/11/23/8976332-beg-your-turkey-pardonIt appears it was John F. Kennedy in 1963. An NBC News archive search found a Los Angeles Times article dated Nov. 20, 1963 with the headline, "Turkey gets presidential pardon." A notable exception occurred in 1963, when President Kennedy, referring to the turkey given to him, said, "Let's just keep him." It wasn't until the first Thanksgiving of President George H.W. Bush, in 1989, that a turkey was officially pardoned for the first time.

Went to Sand Mouintain Dragway, , last time out you guys tied in 4 rounds! What was General Patons (?), greatest 'march' ? 28 views and no answers. I'm going to throw another question out there. Patton, accompanied by ten soldiers of the 6th Infantry Regiment, and using three armored Dodge cars, conducted the United States' first armored vehicle attack, and in the process killed two Mexican leaders, including "General" Julio Cardenas who was shot by Patton himself. Who were they pursuing? |
